drugstores requiring its workers to report their weight and body fat if they want insurance, otherwise, they face a stiff financial penalty, big legal questions on this. we'll have more on that story just ahead. and boy, were we bowled over by this story, a $3 yard sale bargain that scored one family a massive payday. wait till you see how much this little old bowl turned out to be worth. >> ding, ding, ding. we want to turn now to the chilly blast freezing half our country. our sam champion better available answers on this the official first minute -- >> 35 seconds into spring, ladies and gentlemen. 35, 35 seconds. you knew because it was a little tingle that started somewhere down near your feet and it started working all the way up to your body. it's the vernal equinox where it goes across the equator. we'll show you how spring is split in the country this year, though. it's a very unusual pattern. last year we were already in

warm numbers. look at the west, the flowers are coming up. everything is fine. look at the east. you're encountering the snow we've had and flowers have a little bit of an issue, more than a snow issue but a cold air issue. this is the snow that was still falling in massachusetts late last night into early this morning so there's still a fresh coating there. now, yes, part of the country is holding on to warmer temperatures. l.a. at 69 today. denver at 62. dallas, at 69 degrees, but look north because this cold blast doesn't just stay there, it spreads and, as a matter of fact, we've got a big loop in the jet stream because of what we call a greenland block. when that area of high pressure takes away that cold air that's around greenland it squeezes it around and shoves itself down into the eastern half of the country for the next few weeks so if you're waiting for springlike temperatures you'll have to wait for them for a while longer, anywhere from the great lakes to the middle part of the country, to the mid-atlantic and northeast. we're looking like these numbers early this morning. washington, d.c., 39. detroit, 26 so we see the opportunity of one more

snowstorm, maybe more than that moving across the country by the time we get into next week so spring for just part of the country. >> happy, happy spring, everybody. >> all right, sam. thank you. we are learning more this morning about the chilling massacre plot at the university of central florida. the alleged attacker reportedly ordering $700 worth of weapons online. police revealing that he left behind a terrifying to-do list where he outlined the damage he was planning. abc's matt gutman is in orlando with the very latest on this. matt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. that's right. we know that he would meticulously check items off and one of the last one, pulling the fire alarm to try to get hundreds of students in here and begin shooting. police don't know why he didn't follow through but they do know he had an arsenal prepared. this morning, the heart-pounding video. police stumbling across what they say was a failed massacre at the university of central florida. you're seeing video shot through body-mounted cameras.

cops bursting into james oliver seevakumaran's room late sunday, look closely, the pistol, the automatic rifle, bombs in the backpack and we're learning how much worse it might have been. police say seevakumaran sent himself packages. they arrived tuesday morning after his death. >> what was in the mail waiting for the deceased were two .22 round magazines, a black hawk tactical sling and there was also a training dvd. >> reporter: but most explosive perhaps this checklist. ending with two items, fire alarm and give them hell. the suspected shooter pulled this fire alarm, down, went back into his unit here and then he grabbed his gun. police arrived with the help of this 911 call. >> my roommate just pulled a fire alarm and he's got a gun out. >> reporter: the gunman's roommate arabo babakhani. and he slammed the door.

police say babakhani helped prevent a massacre. now, about 100,000 students go to this university and this morning there's still questions. how did the student manage to get so many weapons into that dorm room. amy? >> so many questions, matt gutman, thanks so much. now to abc's paula faris for the other top stories developing at this hour. paula, good morning. >> good morning, as you mentioned a significant trip for the commander in chief, president obama just arrived in israel, his first visit as president. prime minister benjamin netanyahu welcomed him with a hug, he's using the trip to reaffirm the commitment to stop iran from building a nuclear weapon. for those who think the relations have been strained listen to the video. the israeli embassy just posted it. ♪ thank you for being a friend >> yes, that is "the golden girls" theme "thank you for being a friend."

the president also plans to meet with palestinian leaders in aftereffort to restart peace talks. in neighboring syria both sides in the bloody civil war are now claiming chemical weapons have been used for the first time, but the white house says there is no evidence yet to prove that. president obama has warned of possible u.s. military intervention if such weapons are used. and a big development from another global hot spot, the korean peninsula. overnight the big banks and tv stations in south korea were paralyzed after an apparent cyberattack. north korea is the main suspect. and here at home, autism may be far more widespread than we thought. a new government survey of parents found that 1 in 50 school-age children has some form of autism. a previous study said it was more like 1 in 88. this report found a significant number of children have been diagnosed at older ages. and look at this. a dramatic scene in new york. a worker trapped up to his chest

in mud for four hours finally pulled above ground overnight. more than 150 firefighters helping with that rescue. the man was working in a subway tunnel trench when the walls caved in. he is expected to be okay. speaking of dramatic, look at what happened when the mayor of kansas city, missouri, was giving his state of the city address. a disgruntled man storms the stage shouting obscenities, police eventually tackled him to the ground. yes, down he goes. but that was nothing compared to this overseas, an all-out brawl in ukraine's parliament. there they go. just another day in parliament. started when a member of the ruling party delivered a speech in russian instead of ukrainian. >> wow. and finally, yeah, like most of us, president obama has filled out his march madness brackets and first he explained to our friends at espn why he's picking syracuse over unlv. >> good match but i like

syracuse, mainly because biden told me if i didn't pick them he wouldn't talk to me. i think louisville this year has the horses to go real far. i'm going to have to go to ohio state. i think craft's defense is unbelievable and i think in a tournament like this that makes a big difference. i'm going with florida. i just don't -- i don't want people thinking that i'm only big ten all the time. this is a great game but i think indiana is going to pull it out. i think this will be close. >> wow! >> so who is he picking to go all the way? he'll have to watch "sportscenter" at 9:00 a.m. eastern. they're calling barack-etology. two teams from the big ten in the final four. >> look, sam, you called it. indiana. >> did i really? >> look at you. >> yes, you did. >> of course. >> hoosiers, sam, well done. terrific. >> all right. thank you. now to the latest as we switch gears on the mortar blast that killed seven marines in a live fire training exercise.

military investigators are now scrambling to figure out what went wrong. abc's abbie boudreau has the latest. >> reporter: what began as a routine nighttime training exercise in the nevada desert monday evening turned into a real-life disaster killing seven marines and injuring eight others. >> the marines were conducting live fire and maneuver training. at about 9:55 p.m. last night, a mortar round exploded in the tube. the marines were launching 60-millimeter mortars when the small bomb detonated in the tube causing the deadly explosion. the ammo in question is now being suspended worldwide while the incident is being investigated. >> two potential problems. one could have been human error and the second could have been some sort of mechanical failure where the bomb went off prior to the point where it should have. >> reporter: the hawthorne army depot is located 140 miles southeast of reno and is

considered an ideal training facility for special forces preparing to deploy. [ playing "taps" ] >> reporter: hundreds of community members gathered to mourn the loss. >> for those guys to lose their lives the way they did in a training exercise, it was horrible. >> my heart goes out to them. it's a hard thing no matter what. >> reporter: the names of the marines have not been released yet, bewe do know that they're all under the age of 30. they just want answers so that this kind of accident can be avoided in the future. >> such a sad story. abbie boudreau, thank you. well, anger is tipping the scales at one of the nation's largest drugstore chains. cvs making it mandatory for workers to report weight and body fat if they want to keep getting the company's health insurance or face a $600 penalty. abc's steve osunsami has the story.

>> reporter: cvs, with nearly 200,000 workers, told everyone using their health plan they have until may 1st, 2014, to get to a doctor and measure their weight. height, blood pressure and other levels. employees who agree see no change but those who refuse will pay an extra $50 a month for health insurance. >> it's technology-enhanced discrimination on steroids. >> reporter: the critics are having a field day calling this coercion and worrying that cvs and any other company might start firing sick workers. >> the approach they're taking is based on the assumption that somehow these people need a whip. they need to be penalized in order to make themselves healthy. >> reporter: the company says this is voluntary and it never sees the test results. in an e-mail overnight they explained that their benefits program is evolving, to help our colleagues take more responsibility for improving their health and managing health-associated costs. >> the goal of these kinds of programs is to end up with a healthier workforce.

if your employees are healthy, they're going to work better and they're going to cost the employer a lot less money. >> reporter: cvs points out it's not alone and on the internet we found them. is my company's wellness program legal? the plan is called voluntary but it seems anything but. brad seth found it's perfectly legal and sued broward county when they charged him $40 more a month for health insurance, after he refused health screenings and he lost in court. >> i know many people who worked for broward county that said i don't want to do this but this is a tank of gas to me. >> reporter: they're saying their employees do not to worry, saying that doctors give the test results to an independent company and that cvs never sees them. josh? >> okay, much more to come here. thank you for that, steve. we'll going to turn to the escalating scandal swirling over

lululemon. retailer pulling loads of yoga pants off the shelves because they are, shall we say, too revealing. abc's linzie janis is here with the latest. >> yoga pants scandal really exposing -- >> oh. >> -- serious criticism today where people saying it should not have let this happen. the company promising to get to the bottom of exactly how it ended up selling the extra skimpy bottoms. there's a chill in the air this morning and it might just blow through those teeny tiny and now see-through yoga pants. lululemon, the maker of high-end yoga gear, is recalling a whole batch of women's bottoms because they're too sheer. >> now, there is a shortage of yoga pants and i know this sounds like a joke but for white people it isn't a joke. >> reporter: customers became furious when they discovered they'd been doing downward dogs and baring all to their fellow yoganistas. some of them taking to the

internet to vent. one tweeting i'm speechless. another woman saying "yoga fail." "a girl in my yoga class did not get the lululemon see-through pants memo." >> i took back a pair of pants that were see-through. >> reporter: had you worn them? >> yeah, i had. >> it makes the consumer think am i getting my best bang for the buck. >> reporter: at around $100 a pop this is no joke. lululemon is apologizing, they're saying we're doing everything we can to fix the problem and replace these key items as quickly as possible. the company admits the damage to its finances will be significant. stripping as much as $20 million off earnings in the combing -- coming months. the revealing pants account for a reported 17% of all women's yoga pants at its more than 200 stores. >> bend the knee. >> reporter: but if lululemon is to fully recover it'll have to do more than cover up its customers. convincing them they'll never be caught with their proverbial pants down again. so lululemon shares closed 3%

lower on tuesday, as wall street analysts questioned how the company's management could have allowed this to happen. the company is not having a good year, shares down 16% since january 1st. while the rest of the market, of course, is on a tear. >> all right, linzie, i'll hand this right to you. we're going to go to one big fishy tale. two men off the coast of florida snagging something so big they originally thought it was a submarine but guess what, it was a great white shark and it was all caught on tape. abc's gio benitez has their story. >> ooh, there he is right there. right here. >> reporter: for two fishermen it is a catch of a lifetime. >> oh, my god, it's huge! >> reporter: what they say appear to be a giant shark weighing as much as 3,000 pounds on the end of their line. 30 miles off the coast of florida. near tampa. the massive predator struggles to get loose and fab is holding

on tightly to his fishing rod. >> i wasn't going to give up. my stubbornness and determination helped me. >> reporter: the battle, he says, went on for three hours. captain joe maisoni was by his side. >> can't believe jaws was swimming around. >> just incredible. my whole thing was i wanted to get that thing in and i wanted to make sure that we had a picture of it. >> reporter: and, boy, did they. capturing this video as the drama unfolded on friday. >> it looked like a submarine with a tail. >> that is huge. >> that's huge, man. >> reporter: in the end it was too big and illegal to kill. so the pair of fishermen turned sea warriors and let the shark go. >> oh, my god. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: but with so much digital trickery online, what did the two men say to people who think the video is fake? >> i really don't care what they think because i was there. it's live like i -- i really

don't care what people think right now. i know it's true. it happened. >> reporter: whether or not this is the king of the sea, these guys say it was a moment to remember. gio benitez, abc news, miami. >> they're going to need a bigger boat. >> oh! good one. >> yes. good morning, everybody. well, let's start with where -- start with where spring isn't. how's that? >> ah. >> we'll start about the snowfall because this has been kind of an amazing march, where the eastern half of the nation, a lot colder than normal and a lot of cities like new york to boston, all the way back to minneapolis, are actually above their seasonal snowfall level to this point. last year this is where the snow wasn't in march. we had very warm temperatures, temperatures getting into the 70s all the way to the northern borders. this year we've got all that brand-new snow cover that exists from the dakotas well into maine and into northern illinois, northern indiana and northern

but claims it was in self-defense. >> she experienced the trauma even though she was telling the story different from what happened so this test reflects her internal struggle, her internal emotional state and in my opinion is perfectly valid. >> reporter: but martinez would have none of it. he accused dr. samuels of being a hired gun who didn't administer the test correctly. >> for $250 an hour you say you weren't paying enough attention to put whatever else was needed on -- >> i reviewed the report numerous times and must admit i missed it. >> reporter: then misinterpreted the results to help the defense. >> the 75 doesn't mean anything. >> right, it doesn't mean anything, that's why they threw it in there, right? >> you're misinterpreting -- >> i studied these tests for years. >> reporter: the prosecutor believes arias planned the brutal murder of her ex and is pretending she doesn't remember to keep her off death row. when the doctor was unclear about something martinez took

this was supposed to -- this testimony by the expert, dr. dick samuels, was supposed to tie all that together and make sense of it. instead, he was carved up like a thanksgiving turkey and made out to be either a liar or incompetent. >> yeah, this didn't go well. there's no question, yeah, for the defense. >> it went really bad. >> yes, it did not go well, but the question is, did they really need this kind of witness? meaning this is a very tough defense to get a scientific explanation for, right? so i think the defense might have been better off by just having jodi arias' testimony out there. i don't agree with nancy that it was quite as bad in terms of the falling apart -- >> oh, really gentleman. >> because, look, her basic account is the tough part for her. i think -- >> did you see that cold sore? >> i'm not certain what the relevance of the cold sore is. you've mentioned it now twice.

>> stress from jury questioning. >> i guess. >> come on. you've got a doctor, right? how often has your urologist sent you greeting cards? i mean this doctor on the stand is sending her greeting cards, sending her books as presents and it came out almost at the very beginning that he was reprimanded and fined professionally in new jersey for bartering his services for dental work. >> yeah. look, the reality is that if jodi arias had testified and they had just left it out there and maybe a juror or two bonded with her in some way, that would be a huge win for the defense. by calling this guy to the stand and having him attacked and cross-examined and undermined the way he has been, the defense i think is in an even tougher spot. if any of the jurors were thinking, well, maybe it could be and then they hear this guy get attacked the way he did, i think the defense is now taking

a step back rather than a step forward. >> nancy, the defense expert now as you mentioned juror questions, he will be facing some later. reportedly they have submitted very many for them. what do you expect to see today? >> basically it'll be take no enemies questioning because that jury does not hold back. they ask all the questions we want to ask and here's the problem with not calling an expert. this is a mental defense for jodi arias. >> it's a self-defense defense. >> suffering from posttraumatic stress syndrome and does not recall what happened. that is part, dan, of a very complicated self-defense, and they have to call an expert, a medical expert. >> no, they don't. >> otherwise, that can be brought up on cross-examination and it can also be brought up in closing arguments. >> yeah. >> nonproduction of a vital

witness -- i'm sorry. i'm having a problem hearing. i keep hearing dan in my ear. >> i know because every once in a while the corrections are necessary, so that's what you're earring in your ear like saying, nancy, you got that one wrong. yeah. >> we have lots to get to. jodi arias spent 18 days on the stand and we'll discuss that and many more things to come here, dan and nancy, thank you very much. time now for another look at the weather and our samuel j. sam? >> we'll start with the western areas that are picking up a brand-new hit of rain and a little bit of mountain snow with this thing. this area of low pressure becomes important because it splits off to another low that will be sitting, well, you could call this near branson, missouri . that's the next low we're talking about moving across the country to form a wintery storm from the chicago area toward the northeast by the time we get into the first part of next week and it's
